but won't negotiate those with al-qaeda. >> translator: we welcome brothers who are willing to step forward to speak to us, consult and discuss and we need not those who claim to represent them. >> reporter: the fighters are only adding to the chaos to further destabilize iraq before up coming elections in april. they will have to calm the situation before then if he is to show he still has control of the country. and rob matheson al jazeera. >> reporter: he has been in a coma for 8 years is getting weaker. in the past hour doctors said his condition has deteriorated again in the past 24 hours. and he is a controversial figure and inquiry found he carried personal responsibility for the massacre of up to 3500 people in refugee camps in beirut in 1982. the hospital said his kidneys

ashes test against england coming up. ♪ tomorrow british government released government under lock and key since 1984 under the 30 year rule. they provide a revealing insight into the mind of prime minister margaret thatcher who passed away last year and we go to lawrence lee and what have we learned today? >> a little more of the mind of margaret thatcher and this allows people to bury things they don't want the public to know and release them through the archive when they think it's not controversial anymore and obviously margaret thatcher was prime minister and the miner strike and right wing and

attempt by left wing held by leaders of miners to unseat her. what is clear now through these revelations is that her government, which actually beat the miners at the end thought at one point they might lose so they hatched a secret plan to bring 4 1/2 thousand armies if they run out of coal and food and despite this, this was a woman who under no circumstances was prepared to budge an inch, didn't want to negotiate with them and prepared to bring the troops out in her attempt to crush them. in the end it didn't happen because they won anyway but says something about her mindset. >> on the foreign policy front what have we learned? >> there was another footnote and nelson mandela died very

recently at the time margaret thatcher used to describe nelson mandela as a terrorist and with the leader in 1984 she did not bother mentioning mandela at all and there were private talks and no notes taken but it appears at the time she thought mandela was either a terrorist or insignificant and not worth any discussion. in later years she claimed she had brought up mandela with him and in part she had been responsible for bouncing the south african leadership to getting him released but this seems to suggest the opposite was true. and for all her attempts to stick to her guns and describe mandela as being a bad man, i tell you what this demonstrates is she didn't understand the way the wind of history was blowing. >> reporter: live in london. heavy snowfall and freezing

conditions hit parts of the united states and new york, governor has a state of emergency across the state, major highways were shut down overnight and schools have been closed and dominick cain has the latest. >> the weather will not go away and may look like a picture post card the reality is rather different and traffic disrupted and many accidents here and there. the harsh conditions caused some states to close highways and schools have been shut in several states. >> tomorrow we are closing state government. i'm urging private employers to do the same. the point is to keep people off of the roads and away from the -- and indoors and away from the cold which is extreme. >> reporter: the snow and low visibility have forced airlines to cancel thousands of flights

snowfall this time yesterday. >> that is right, it has been a little while in the making, as you hear it went through the midwest and making its way and there is still a fair amount of snow to come over the next 18-24 hours but it's slowly but surely easing out in the open waters and you see the general movement in the direction and big area of low pressure and this is located off the shore of the northeastern corner of the united states and the wind is traveling anticlockwise direction and picking up a fair amount of moisture known as an noreaster in the region and the cold air where we see the moisture pulled into cold air with big snowfall totals going through and new york could see 15-20 centimeters of snow through the remainder of today and through friday and the cape cobb and eastern massachusetts and into maine where we could see more snow and see 30 centimeters here and that is around the january average in

18-24 average. the cold air behind that we have cold air in place and blizzard conditions and that is friday's picture and go to saturday and temperatures the recover a touch and minus two celsius for new york and really it's sunday before we see a hint of a thaw over temperatures of 6 degrees. here is another plunge of cold air coming in for the early part of next week and that is something to watch out for. the remainder of today here is snow around new york and up in new england and eastern parts of canada, that will continue to make its way further east with brighter skies coming in behind and essentially promises to be a clear, crisp day and gloves and shades and new york of minus two degrees. we have a fair amount of snow into ontario and quebec and will go further south through sunday. that is the picture for early on next week, the snow from the lakes and in the deep south so

that will make its way through sometime next week, adrian. >> many thank, india prime minister says he will step down after general elections in may and will resign when the congress party remains in power or not and it's very unlikely that the congress party will win the election and sing who is 80 years old made the announcement at a rare news conference. >> in a few months time after the general election i will hand the baton over to a new prime minister. and gandhi has outstanding credentials to be nominated as the presidential candidate and i hope our party will take that decision at an appropriate time. >> reporter: let's get a view on this from the indian express newspaper who is with us live,

not before time his critics would have said, india would be in a much better position today had the prime minister returned before the last election, are they right? >> yes. sort of. but not from the elections. from somewhere in the middle of this, i mean, his political authority was weakened as moral authority has gone and it would be much more interesting for the party and they would have been much better placed had he moved out much earlier than today. >> reporter: so how will history judge him as the man responsible for pulling india but the scruff of the neck into economic prosperity or as a slow, timid, unimaginable person who lived the most corrupt government in history? >> i suppose the second one is because he is the one who started the reforms, no doubt, and he was under the then prime

minister and pushed to a lot of reforms. but when he began the prime minister he also has been ahead of the government but he dismantled a lot of that reform, and made india into a problem area for business to work in. so definitely his assessment as a person who did this in part will not be very favorable and kept on saying that. >> i was going to say you can't deny the fact that the prime minister is a thoroughly besent man. >> reporter: certainly, he is a very decent man and no one put that into question and that was never an issue of doubt. the problem was what he was doing to lead the mandate which was a mandate for change for india into a mandate which now is being called for by opposition parties. they have taken away his entire problem and that is what it is.

>> reporter: critics would also point out it wasn't the prime minister who was holding the reigns here. it was gandhi. and what about the congress party, how will they fare in may's elections and will it appoint a new figurehead under which the party can rally before the polls or doesn't it work like that in india? >> it could have. it could have had they come to tell shuns much earlier thinking through a clear strategy but the problem is that one more thing was definitely leading the government and was actually the real political head. now, they have delayed this with gandhi and by the time he is taken on there were to other parties which already made their positions very clear of what they want to do. so he is definitely not despite the gandhi name, he is not the magic which congress can use to

win the election. >> reporter: it's been good to talk to you and many thanks indeed and we are from the indian express. 2013 saw more than 70 general strike days in bangladesh and damaging an economy that had been growing steadily and threatening to plunge millions back into poverty and we have more from daca ahead of sunday's general election. >> the mayhem of the roads in daca. if you travel in the bangladesh capitol the chances are you will spend some time in one of these, a trustee rickshaw, excellent for cutting through the traffic, or not, as the case may be. this believe it or not is a quiet day on the streets of daca and that is not a good thing because in the run up to tell shun the opposition has called yet another general strike. there have been more than 70 such strike days in the past 12

months shouting businesses restricting transport networks, damaging a growing economy that according to the world bank has lifted 60 million people out of poverty in ten years. most of those like mohamed have joined the informal sector, traders who make a living on the city street and less so these days and mohamed's earnings have fallen behalf. >> translator: and before the strike i used to make a good profit and now it's difficult to make anything. if it goes on like this we will be destroyed. >> reporter: many perhaps even most are just a short step away from falling back into poverty. >> the extent of poverty has went down but those close to poverty line their sustainability is low and when it's efficient in the economy it's down and pulling them up

above the poverty line is difficult. >> reporter: the political turmoil threatens the wider economy as well including the multi-billion dollar garment industry, the economic backbone of bangladesh, and the strike badly effects the supply chain if buyers cannot rely on orders being met on time there are other places like china or india they can turn to instead and the state the losing pressure revenue which could effect public spending. as commerce takes a back seat these quiet days frequently turn to violence as rival groups play out their politics the street. the government will win a one-sided election on sunday. but bangladesh has much to lose. jonah, al jazeera, daca. i want to show you live pictures coming from tunis and explain what it is we are seeing here. the national constituent

assembly of tunis is debating the draft of a new constitution for the country. and you may remember the first attempt to write a constitution following the 2011 revolution collapsed when that government fell. if lawmakers reach a successful agreement today it will be a pretty important milestone in the country's transition towards democracy. so not exactly the most exciting pictures we have shown you but important nonetheless to market and to explain what it was we were seeing there. all right, plenty more to come here on the news hour, from boom to bust, it's the driving force behind australia's economy starting to slow down. we will take a look. >> i believe changes will come and they will be changes for the better. >> reporter: and determined as ever protesters in ukrain

of water to them. but, you know, the water when they claim something they have no interest by using the force. they want a peaceful demonstration and peaceful strike to get something they want and increase the salary. i believe that it might be, you know, the troublemaker that takes the occasion to do some bad thing. but the duty of the authority is to protect the right of the workers who are on strike or who organized the demonstration, not to crack down on them. >> reporter: doctor thank you very much for being with us and we are on the line with a human rights activist. government opponents in, ukraine are calling for a strike when the christmas holiday end next week, the continuing standoff
